CHILI RECIPE

The best Chili recipe doesn’t get any easier than this. If you’ve been following me for a while now, you may have noticed how much I love throwing ingredients into a pot and allowing it to cook or simmer until its ready.

There’s nothing like putting a large pot of Chili in the centre of the table and have everyone at it. Especially when it’s cold and miserable outside! I took full advantage of the freezing nights and made three batches of this chili — two of which made it to the freezer waiting for me to use them for something else.

WHAT INGREDIENTS GO INTO CHILI?

The recipe calls for ground beef (or beef mince) but you CAN you use ground turkey or chicken. You could also use a slow cook meat, such as chuck steak or brisket, BUT you will need to have it on a low simmer for a couple of hours to allow the meat to break down.

Heat oil in large heavy-based pot (or casserole pot) over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until transparent, then add the green peppers (or capsicum), jalapeños and garlic; sautéing for a further minute, until the garlic is fragrant.

Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up any big chunks with the end of your wooden spoon. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika and salt and mix through until beef is fully coated in the seasonings.

Mix in the crushed tomatoes along with the juices, the tomato sauce (or soup), broth and beans. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and allow to simmer while stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens (about 30 minutes).

I won $100 First place at my companies annual chilli contest!! I just started there 3 weeks ago. It beat 7 other entries including the 2x reigning champ! I added extra an extra dose that didn’t measure of Cumin, Smoked Paprika, hot smoked Chilli powder, dusting of Himalayan salt and 2 Tbs of sugar. Of the 18 votes, it received 14 1st place votes! Thanks for the recipe!!

I made this last night and wow we loved it! I’m not a good chili maker,its usually very acidic,but this was great! I did not use cumin as we didn’t have any,thanks for many great looking recipes that I will try.

Made this tonight, followed recipe to the “T,” except I rinsed my beans. Came out really good, a little mild because my Jalapeños were very mild. Great comfort food for a rare cool night down here in South Florida… Thanks for the recipe.
